I wish the @PDR lived in Houston so I could take mine over there.

Next time I pass over this conversation I will remember I have already read it. I may be old, but I have ways of remembering that make memory unimportant. :)

(Sorry for the hijack)

I wish I had a PAR meter to lend to the OP so we could remove the speculation and improve our focus on finding the solution.

Glad youre here with us. I only called you out because I’ve never had a likesthisathon on my posts before.

there is a purple stylo in my tank, it is first to let me know when water parameters are suspect. Polyp extension recedes noticeably, test the water and the nitrates are high. What are your nitrates at? can you get nitrates down to 2-5 ppm territory with a water change, you should see your corals perk up.

I am certainly new to all of this but I have seen this first hand and the problem and correctional results are dramatic...

I moved all the sps to my frag tank a couple of weeks ago. The Joe the Coral died within 3 days and I just had to throw out the red planet. It darkened considerably then the flesh just started peeling off yesterday. The digi and stylo have also darkened in color but otherwise look ok. I thought the red monti cap was a goner, 90% of the center was white but it is recovering nicely and has regained most of its color.

Something interesting worth noting, the digi has had no polyp extension at all during these 2 weeks until today, several hours after I threw out the red planet. Probably just a coincidence, but I thought it was strange.
